rnal 'byor bla na med pa'i rgyud;Anuttarayoga Tantra;[Lit. "Unsurpassed Union Tantra"] - The fourth and highest of the four classes of Tantra. In the New Schools, this system consists of the Father Tantras, Mother Tantras, and Nondual Tantras. In the Nyingma School, this class of Tantra is equated with the three inner tantras: Mahāyoga, Anuyoga, and Atiyoga. Ju Mipham explains, "From the perspective of this approach, not only is the Causal Vehicle of the Perfections a 'long path,' but the Outer Tantras are as well. In other words, this is the true 'swift path,' the true 'Fruition Vehicle.' All other approaches are taught according to the mind-sets of disciples to lead them to this vehicle. Here, in contrast, the ultimate, definitive meaning is revealed explicitly, just as it is seen by the wisdom of the buddhas." [KG 37] +

byang phyogs so bdun;Thirty-Seven Factors Of Enlightenment;thirty-seven factors of enlightenment;The thirty-seven factors of enlightenment are qualities that occur at various stages of the Buddhist path. According to Maitreya's ''Distinguishing the Middle from Extremes'', these are: 1) the four applications of mindfulness that occur on the lesser path of accumulation, 2) the four authentic eliminations that occur on the intermediate path of accumulation, 3) the four bases of miraculous power that occur on the greater path of accumulation, 4) the five faculties that occur during the first two stages of the path of joining - the stages of heat and summit, 5) the five powers that occur on the last two stages of the path of joining - the stage of acceptance and the supreme state, 6) the seven aspects of enlightenment that occur on the path of seeing, and 7) the eightfold noble path that occurs on the path of cultivation. [MV 732] These factors are often represented symbolically in development stage practice. The associations between these factors and their visualized counterparts are discussed by Longchenpa in SC, pp. 84-86. +
rnal 'byor rgyud;Yoga Tantra;Yoga Tantra is the last of the three outer tantras. In this system, emphasis is placed on the internal process of meditative absorption. In terms of the path, there are two forms of practice: the practice of skillful means and the practice of knowledge. In the first, one practices deity yoga in conjunction with the four seals. In the latter, one realizes the inner reality of the mind and actualizes discerning wisdom. To supplement this internal process, external forms of ritual purification are also practiced. [SG 335] +
